Default Connection Problems

I've been getting the 1 green bar since yesterday and I did everything it said to fix the problem I restarted the computer and it worked (after a few tries at first). Then today when I wake up and I turn the computer on and I have the same problem all over again. So I don't know what the problem is. Help please xD

1. OS version? Windows XP
2. What firewalls you have? Norton Internet Security
3. How much ram? 1 GB
4. Hard Disk space available? A lot
5. Connection type? DSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Don't know
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Limewire: 4.13.8, Java: 1.5.0_10
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It works
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've been using LW for a few months now and this is my first problem
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I believe so
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Norton
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). Puerto Rico

Check that your Norton firewall's configured to allow LW. You could even remove the current rules & reconfigure it.

Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

Who is your ISP (who do you pay for your internet)?
What's the brand & model of your modem/router? If there's nothing showing on top, look underneath.

Try this version of Java. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version before you install this one.
